NOVEDADES

Bronco received an invitation to a party, but he can’t find the puzzle piece everyone is supposed to bring. During his search, he encounters a variety of friends with their own set of worries: a flightless bird, an allergic goat, and a clumsy bunny. The animals team up to find both Bronco's puzzle piece and the party, arriving to discover that the party is in their honor! This sweet story of animals with different challenges and abilities is core to Tim Tebow’s message to fans and friends of any age who have special needs. Getting invited to the party is exciting—but bringing your own particular gifts makes it more fun for everyone. Tim Tebow wants everyone to know that's how God sees them: special, unique, and essential to the party.

In the ballrooms and drawing rooms of Regency London, rules abound. From their earliest days, children of aristocrats learn how to address an earl and curtsey before a prince—while other dictates of the ton are unspoken yet universally understood. A proper duke should be imperious and aloof. A young, marriageable lady should be amiable…but not too amiable. Daphne Bridgerton has always failed at the latter. The fourth of eight siblings in her close-knit family, she has formed friendships with the most eligible young men in London. Everyone likes Daphne for her kindness and wit. But no one truly desires her. She is simply too deuced honestfor that, too unwilling to play the romantic games that captivate gentlemen.

Horas inglesas reúne doce ensayos –once de ellos inéditos en español– que Henry James dedicó a sus viajes por Inglaterra y a su experiencia vital en Londres. Los textos abarcan casi tres décadas, de modo que pueden leerse como un periplo íntimo desde la frescura y el asombro del joven escritor (recién llegado al viejo mundo) hasta su madurez artística, ya consolidado como figura literaria y afincado en un pueblecito de Sussex. Los capítulos tratan de temas di- versos: la variopinta vida de Londres (la “turbia Babilonia moderna”), con paseos por los “paisajes urbanos más románticos del mundo”; el divertido espectáculo del Derby de Epsom; los alborotados actos de fin de curso en Oxford; o las excursiones a las ciudades catedralicias de Wells y Salisbury..., entre otros. James aplica su maestría retórica y filtro literario a unas observaciones que presenta con un potencial evocador y una abstracción reflexiva que trascienden la experiencia in- mediata. Por eso es posible releer y apreciar estos escritos siglo y medio después de su aparición. El amante de Henry James puede seguir sus pasos por distintos paseos y visitas, y, gracias al gusto inglés por la conservación de todo lo histórico, hasta le será posible alojarse en hoteles donde se hospedó el propio escritor, identificados en la Introducción.

Hace años, el monarca de Idris firmó un tratado con el reino de Hallandren según el cual el rey Dedelin enviaría a su hija mayor, Vivenna, para casarse con Susebron, el rey-dios de Hallabdren. Vivenna ha sido adiestrada durante toda su vida para ser una novia adecuada para Susebron y así cumplir con su deber y ayudar a forjar una paz estable entre los dos reinos. Ese era el plan, pero el monarca de Idris envía a su hija Siri, desobediente e independiente, en lugar de Vivenna. Mientras intenta encontrar su lugar en la corte de Susebron, Siri descubre la verdad oculta sobre el rey-dios. En Idris, Vivenna se siente intranquila y teme que su hermana no esté preparada para esa nueva vida, por lo que decide viajar a Hallandren. Allí se reúne con la gente de Idris que trabaja en la capital, Telir, y comienza una nueva vida de espionaje y sabotaje.

Yokoi Kenji retoma en este libro historias legendarias del Japón para, al final, hacer breves comentarios a manera de conclusiones sobre la vida de hoy. Historias de monjes y fábulas dan pie para reflexiones sobre el comportamiento humano. Al igual que en Salón 8, el autor tiene como telón de fondo sus vivencias en Japón y su condición de latinoamericano. Son 41 historias cortas donde el lector se dejará envolver por cuentos casi infantiles, mágicos, para encontrar ahí la respuesta a muchas inquietudes de la vida diaria. Lejos de dar cátedra directamente por medio de conceptos, las historias mismas van dejando reflexiones sobre la importancia de la disciplina, el valor de la amistad, la lealtad, el equilibrio entre el trabajo y el ocio, la importancia de la familia, las relaciones de pareja, entre otros temas.
